How Tea Fixes All Ills

I apologise for yesterday's rant. It was a bad day, designed to test me, and I failed. Lesson learnt - don't use public blog forums to vent. Use private blog instead. There is no point railing against the idiocies of corporate life, either you suck it up and stay a part of it (and keep getting paid) or you decide enough is enough, and head off to the beaches of Thailand to become a dive instructor. Whether or not the latter option is becoming increasingly attractive, is also not a matter for this forum.

However, yesterday's fury-storm did achieve one small thing. It reminded me of the restorative qualities of a cup of tea.

Tea rocks. It is both soothing and perking (is that a word? It should be.) It is terribly English (in my opinion) yet strangely appropriate for most cultures and settings around the world. It calms furies, and realigns the brain-planets, allowing for rational thought. It should be drip fed to world leaders 24/7.

End of sermon.
